Hi,
I've placed "stable" releases of SimplePAMApps (which can be compiled with
and without PWDB support) on my Linux-PAM page. I have also provided two
separate RPMS for this package with and without PWDB support.
<http://parc.power.net/morgan/Linux-PAM/index.html>
You will likely have to --force these rpms when you try to install them.
They make extensive use of features of Linux-PAM that were present in 0.57
and later releases and come with some default /etc/pam.d/* files (your old
configuration will be rpmsave'd).
Hope you like them. Thanks to Mark Lillywhite for spotting a problem in the
alpha releases relating to non-termination of sessions.
Cheers
Andrew
CHANGELOG over 0.54 (corrected spelling;):
* added pam_close_session in the case that acquiring credentials fails
-- both su and login (bug report Mark Lillywhite).
* slightly more reasonable default configurations are included. (since
the rpm will now try to install them on your system).
* $HOME works again for 'su -'
* addded conditional compilation of pwdb to passwd (uses pwdb's getlogin)
* tidy up in Makefile and su made more impervious to being kill()ed
* fixed two typos in login and passwd manuals: critical -> requisite
* su can now be run without taking its input from a tty. This is only when
it is run by the superuser.
